SUMMARY:HILL'S | Webinar #9: What the Cell?! A Practical Guide to Skin Cytology
DESCRIPTION:Subject: What the Cell?! A Practical Guide to Skin Cytology\nSpeaker: Dr Kelly du Preez\nOrganizer: Hill’s Pet Nutrition\nLINK:  REGISTER HERE \nHave you ever sent slides away and received a “non-diagnostic” report? Or thought you saw round cells everywhere but the mass turned out to be an epithelial tumour? Or worried over the criteria of malignancy in a weird cell population o nly to find out they were just macrophages? These diagnostic pitfalls are enough to put anyone off cytology and are o ne reason why skin cytology is so underutilised in private practice. By using a practical step-bystep approach\, skin cytology can prove to be accurate\, info rmative\, and useful in terms of diagnostic work-ups and therapeutic planning. Please join us for this webinar where Dr Kelly will discuss how to approach skin cytology\, common conditions that are readily diagnosed o n cytology and diagnostic pitfalls to avoid. \nSpeaker: \nDr Kelly du Preez\nBVSc (Hons) MMedVet (Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics) DipECVCP\nKelly is a South African and European specialist in veterinary clinical pathology. After graduating from Onderstepoort in 2013\, she worked for several years in small animal private practice in Pretoria. She returned to the University of Pretoria to complete her specialist training in 2021. In 2022\, she established Kytos Clinical Pathology Consultancy\, an independent consultancy based in Centurion that offers specialist cytology and clinical pathology services to private practices and laboratories in South Africa. In her free time\, Kelly is an avid reader and enjoys spending quality time with her husband Stephen and their busy toddler Jude and geriatric “Border Jack” named Molly. \nDisclaimer: This information is exclusively intended for registered veterinary and para-veterinary professionals.

SUMMARY:IDEXX | Whisker Thin: The Skinny on Multi-Morbidities in Senior Cats
DESCRIPTION:Subject: Whisker Thin: The Skinny on Multi-Morbidities in Senior Cats\nSpeaker: Dr Yvonne McGrotty\nOrganizer: Idexx\nLINK: REGISTER HERE \nUnintentional weight loss in older cats is a very common presenting sign and strongly associated with chronic disease. Senior cats may present with co-morbidities making diagnosis and treatment much more challenging. In this webinar we will discuss common co-morbidities in senior cats including renal disease\, hyperthyroidism\, cardiac disease\, neoplasia\, chronic enteropathies and dental disease. Diagnostic tests must be chosen appropriately to minimise morbidity and avoid over or under diagnosis and also to allow treatment to be started at the earliest opportunity. The difficulties encountered when treating multi-morbidities will also be discussed. \nDr Yvonne McGrotty\nBVMS CertSAM DipECVIM-CA MRCVS·Idexx \nYvonne graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1997. After 2 years in small animal practice\, she returned to Glasgow Vet School where she completed a residency in small animal medicine. Yvonne was awarded the European Diploma in Small Animal Medicine in 2006 and is both a RCVS and European Veterinary Specialist in Internal Medicine. Yvonne has more than 20 years of experience working in private referral practices across the UK and in France. Yvonne joined IDEXX part time in October 2013 as an internal medicine consultant and continues to work in private referral practice in Angers\, France. Yvonne has contributed to many veterinary publications and book chapters including the BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Clinical Pathology. She has a particular passion for critical care medicine\, endoscopy and infectious diseases and has recently been lucky enough to be involved with endoscopy of big cats and other zoo animals. In her spare time\, she likes exploring the French countryside by bike. \nDisclaimer: This information is exclusively intended for registered veterinary and para-veterinary professionals.

SUMMARY:VALLEY FARM CPD EVENING | Feather Destructive Behaviour in Birds
DESCRIPTION:Subject: Feather Destructive Behaviour in Birds\nSpeaker: Dr Dorianne Elliott\nOrganizer: Valley Farm Animal Hospital\nLINK: REGISTER HERE\nor\nRSVP:  julia@valleyfarmvet.co.za \nIt’s always good to learn something that can ease those frustrating cases and make your client happy and your patient better! \nFeather destructive behaviour is a very common compliant in companion birds and can be extremely frustrating to treat. By diagnosing and treating holistically and psychological conditions\, one can better assist these complicated patients. \nEven if you’d rather refer to Dr Dorianne this lecture will help you make a start by offering sound advice to your client. \nDr Dorianne Elliott qualified form Ondersteport in 2002 and immediately began working in an exotics only practice. She ran the Bird and Exotic Animal Hospital in the OPVAH from 2006 to 2023 after which she moved to Valley Farm Animal Hospital where she continues to work specifically with exotic patients. \nShe has lectured the veterinary and vet nurse students in exotics since 2004 and also write for several publications. She is qualified falconer and is involved in raptor rehabilitation as well as a number of research spheres. \nDr Dorianne believes in education of both lay people and veterinarians is critical in improving the lives of exotic pets. She keeps a wide variety of rescued exotics but freely admits dogs are her favourite animals. \nWe really look forward to having you join us.

SUMMARY:IDEXX | VetSpecialist Symposium - The Hematology Series
DESCRIPTION:Subject: VetSpecialist Symposium – The Hematology Series\nSpeakers: Dr. John Harvey\, Dr. Emily Rout & Dr. Dudley\nOrganizer: Idexx\nLINK: REGISTER HERE \nRegister now for this special virtual event! 3 experts in 3 hours! \nThis symposium brings together three leading voices in veterinary hematology for a session-packed afternoon covering erythrocyte morphology\, lymphoproliferative disease classification\, and practical CBC interpretation. \nSession 1: 17:00 – 18:00 – Abnormal Erythrocyte Morphology as Diagnostic Aids \nThis session covers the mechanisms\, appearance\, and diagnostic significance of abnormal erythrocyte morphologies\, particularly in the differential diagnosis of anemia. Dr. John Harvey will address rouleaux and agglutination\, key shape abnormalities (spherocytes\, echinocytes\, schistocytes\, and others)\, and how the IDEXX InVue analyzer compares to glass slide blood films for identifying these features\, along with best practices for reporting nucleated erythrocytes. \nDr. John Harvey\, DVM\, PhD\, DACVP\, earned his DVM from Kansas State University and his PhD from UC Davis\, and is board-certified by the ACVP as Professor Emeritus at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. A recognized expert in comparative hematology with over 200 publications\, he is the author of “Veterinary Hematology: A Diagnostic Guide and Color Atlas” and has received numerous lifetime achievement honors\, including from the ASVCP\, ISACP\, and ESVCP. \nSession 2: 18:00 – 19:00 – From Common to Confounding: A Case-Based Spectrum of Canine Lymphoproliferative Disorders \nCanine lymphoma and leukemia span a wide range of immunophenotypes\, clinical behaviors\, and prognoses. This case-based session integrates CBC\, cytology\, and flow cytometry findings across that spectrum\, moving from commonly encountered phenotypes to rarer\, diagnostically challenging cases\, with an emphasis on how phenotype shapes prognosis and treatment planning. \nDr. Emily Rout\, DVM\, PhD\, DACVP\, is a board-certified veterinary clinical pathologist and Co-Director of the Clinical Hematopathology Laboratory at Colorado State University\, where she also serves as Assistant Professor. Her research focuses on lymphoma and leukemia in dogs and cats\, with particular interest in molecular diagnostics and immunophenotyping\, and she has authored over 40 peer-reviewed publications. \nSession 3: 19:00 – 20:00 – What the Numbers Miss: How Dot Plots and Blood Morphology Complete the CBC \nAutomated CBC counts alone can miss valuable diagnostic clues. Through a series of clinical cases\, this session demonstrates how dot plot patterns and cellular morphology reveal abnormalities that numbers alone can overlook\, and explores how AI-enabled analyzers like the IDEXX inVue Dx are expanding access to advanced hematologic evaluation at the point of care. Attendees will leave with a practical approach for extracting more diagnostic value from every CBC. \nDr. Dudley\, DVM\, MS\, DACVIM\, is a board-certified veterinary internist and Medical Affairs Veterinarian supporting hematology for IDEXX\, having earned her DVM from Purdue University and completed her internal medicine residency at The Ohio State University. Before joining Medical Affairs in January 2026\, she spent several years in specialty practice followed by a decade with IDEXX consulting with practitioners on complex medical cases. \nWe hope you can join us for this deep look at hematology diagnostics\, from the blood smear to the flow cytometer. \nCan’t make the live webinar?\nDon’t worry. All sessions are recorded and available several weeks after the live event on the VetSpecialist Exchange landing page\non the IDEXX Learning Center. \nDisclaimer: This information is exclusively intended for registered veterinary and para-veterinary professionals.
